Speckled Stones and Dissonant Green Dots

by Okkyung Lee

supported by

BenPujara Two shining windows into a tense and stretching world.

Richard Hayes Okkyung Lee is a strong player who uses extremely extended techniques to express that which is timeless and true. Plus she has an album called “anicca” which means “impermanence” in the Pali language so how much cooler could she be? None. None more cooler.

about

New York-based cellist Okkyung Lee has built an impressive standing via numerous releases on labels like Tzadik and Ecstatic Peace!, collaborations with an exceptional cross-section of heavies, and critically acclaimed solo albums. Her playing possesses an organic intensity across a vast range, and she is exceptionally musical when producing visceral multilayered sound using extended techniques. Here, she offers different facets on the two pieces which comprise Speckled Stones and Dissonant Green Dots. Side A, “Speckled Stones”, combines chaotic computer-generated and analogue synthesizer sounds; their rhythms and timbres providing multilayered ambience that builds and then clears like patches of night fog. The clean tones of Side B, “Dissonant Green Dots”, suggest early polyphony within cycles of tense, entrancing phrasings.
